Hi all,

I'm in the process of implementing "server scripts" and could use some
assistance with SQL queries.
Prior to scheduling a "full" database backup, I want to check if a full DB
backup has already been performed that day.
I'm performing a migration prior to executing the DB backup so i was going to
check the stgpool.chg_time vs. db.last_basckup_date. The query would look like
this:

select stgpool.chg_time, db.last_backup_date from stgpools, db
where stgpools.stgpools_name='BACKUPPOOL'
and stgpool.chg_time <= db.last_backup_date

I want to compare the hh:mm portion of the timestamp. Does anyone know how to
extract the hh:mm portion of the
timestamp.

Any assistance with timestamp formatting would be greatly appreciated.
